The Yokohama A050 leverages advanced technologies gleaned from extensive racing experience. This evolution of the A048 delivers superior cornering, braking, and traction for exceptional handling performance.

The A050 features an optimized groove distribution that ensures a stable contact patch from the shoulder to the center of the tire. This design translates to smooth handling during cornering. Additionally, the large center block and center rib work together to provide strong braking and enhanced stiffness against lateral forces. The wide, round-edged grooves effectively distribute road pressure, resulting in improved tread wear.
